Kucinich to hold off on Presidential impeachment

This, folks, is big news for a White House trembling in its cowboy boots as it prolongs its Administration into its final year: Dennis Kucinich has delayed filing impeachment charges! Yes, the GOP might have been saved.

You see, Dennis had planned to get his impeachment ball rolling in reaction to a SotU address he hadn't heard, but is change of heart is documented right here, in Dennis's hometown Cleveland Plain Dealer:

Kucinich said Monday that he met with members of the House Judiciary Committee after making last week's impeachment pledge. He said he came away "hopeful there will be an inquiry by the Judiciary Committee."

"I will give them the opportunity to proceed before introducing articles of impeachment," he said in a statement. The committee's spokeswoman did not respond to requests for comment.

On the Republican side it shows, Mitt Romney barely leading with 26%, followed closely by Mike Huckabee at 24%, Rudy Giuliani at 14%, Fred Thompson at 10% and Sen. John McCain at 7%. [Read on]
